Don’t all rush to the magazine aisle at once »

By NewHampster on Feb 12, 2009 in Michelle Obama | 119 Comments

Please, Please, No Stampede to get the March Issue of Vogue with your favorite fashion icon on the cover.

As I’ve said before, I think she is off limits until she does something worthy of our writing.  She is an intelligent woman I will not denigrate, without damn good reasons.
Here I just wanted everyone to read [...]

Amateur Hour »

By Pat Racimora on Feb 12, 2009 in Barack Obama, Qualifications | 192 Comments

These days my ears hurt a lot whenever I turn on TV news shows. Those who control how we will be forced to live appear to be digging us even deeper into an 8-year-old hole. And the one now trying to lead the new pack is a man with no experience in [...]

Is Barack Obama An Articulate George Bush? [UPDATED] »

By Larry Johnson on Feb 12, 2009 in Current Affairs | 237 Comments

While I strenuously opposed Barack Obama as candidate for President I made clear that I would support him for doing good and decent things. My attempt at being even handed cost me some friends. Patsy and Sugar, for example, walked away because I would not engage in Obama bashing. But the Golden [...]

[Updates x2] Sen. Judd Gregg Withdraws from Obama’s Boneheaded Appointment to Head Commerce »

By SusanUnPC on Feb 12, 2009 in Bill Richardson, Commerce, Congress (House & Senate), Economic Stimulus, Economy, Judd Gregg, Obama Administration, Obama's Cabinet | 77 Comments

VIDEO UPDATE & COMMENT: No, Senator Gregg. You would NOT have been allowed to be yourself. You just had an up-close encounter with the Daily Kossack / Nancy Pelosi / Harry Reid world of far-left politics where NO individual thought is ever permissible and only group-think is EVER allowed. God forbid [...]

Open Thread * We Mourn for all Obots for whom reality is finally smacking them in the face … »

By SusanUnPC on Feb 12, 2009 in American Consumers, Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Congress (House & Senate), Economic Stimulus, Economy | 158 Comments

Just kidding! I’m not mourning for the Obots. We tried ceaselessly to WARN these Kool-Aid dipsomaniacs that Obama did not have the experience or in-depth knowledge, and that if he were ever to run for President, he needed to stay in the senate, and learn that job before he skipped grades.
If Obama [...]

The Media Are (Finally) Getting More Real on PBO »

By SusanUnPC on Feb 12, 2009 in American Consumers, Banking Institutions, CNN, Current Affairs, Economic Stimulus, Economy, Media Handling of Story, stimulus tax package | 53 Comments

Of course, the moment PBO went into his campaign rally “schtick,” the media were like cub scouts who’ve been hiking all day, drinking the Kool-Aid and chowin’ down on the meal, no matter how not-very-meaty it was. But now that the focii are back on Congress’s negotiations, Geithner is testifying, the bank presidents [...]

Is He Kidding, Or Unclear On The Concept? »

You don’t have to be a Yankees fan (which I am) to have heard the recent brouhaha over Alex Rodriquez (I’m a Derek Jeter fan myself), and his acknowledgment that he used steroids back in 2001 – 2003. It is disturbing, of course – I deplore the use of steroids in baseball (though at [...]
